2nd Gen Alternator Differences?
I'm about to buy a 2nd gen alternator and fuse box and all I know is that it's a N/A (not turbo) 86-88 part. Were the various 7 models (GTX, GTU, ...) stocked with different alternators, perhaps on the turbo models or anything like that?

The General RE
S4 is directly compatible.
S5 requires constant power instead of key power to one of the terminals(see diagram). If you don not make this wiring change you will experence a 1A draw on the battery when the car is off.

Search seems broken, so I had to dig for it.
